Průkop ve skále hradního kopce, na místě bývalého litického vodopádu, byl vybudován za Pernštejnů v letech 1495 - 1521, zřejmě jako protipovodňové opatření, odvedením části vod Divoké Orlice. Tato ojedinělá technická památka z doby pozdní gotiky je zaznamenána na mnoha obrazech. Tesaná štola dlouhá 36 metrů, byla rozšířena roku 1930 a opatřena betonovou obezdívkou, uzavřenou stavidlem. Na konec štoly navazuje vyrovnávací komora se základovým blokem na rostlé skále. Původní dřevěný jez na Orlici s kamennou výplní byl v roce 1931 opraven a opatřen předsazeným betonovým tělesem. Hydroelektrárna, která už není součástí památkové ochrany, je první automatickou vodní elektrárnou v bývalém Československu (1932). Má tři části. První je jez na řece, odkud voda teče přes česla do přívodního potrubí. Druhou části je přívodní potrubí se spojovací štolou Myší dírou. Třetí a hlavní částí elektrárny je Francisova turbína umístěna v budově vzdálené 300 metrů přes kopec. Voda za turbínou odtéká zpět do Divoké Orlice kamenným korytem. A tunnel in the rock of the castle hill, on the site of a former Litice waterfall, was built during the Pernstein family between 1495 - 1521, probably as a flood control measure, by diverting part of the waters of Divoká Orlice. This unique technical monument from the late Gothic period is depicted in many paintings. The sculpted tunnel, 36 meters long, was extended in 1930 and provided with concrete lining, closed by a sluice-gate. At the end of the gallery, there is a balancing chamber with a foundation block at a solid rock. The original wooden weir in Orlice with a stone filling was repaired in 1931 and fitted with a hanging concrete body. The hydroelectric power plant, which is not a part of the monument protection, is the first automatic hydroelectric power plant in the former Czechoslovakia (1932). It has three parts. The first is the weir on the river, where the water flows through the racks to the supply pipe. The second part is the inlet piping with the connecting hole of the Mouse Hole itself. The third and main part of the power plant is the Francis turbine located in a building 300 meters across the hill. Water behind the turbine flows back to Divoká Orlice through a stone channel.

The moat in the rock of the castle hill, on the site of a former Litice waterfall, was built during the reign of the Pernštejns in the years 1495 - 1521, probably as a flood protection measure, by draining part of the waters of the Divoká Orlice. This unique technical monument from the late Gothic period is recorded in many paintings. Carved gallery 36 meters long, was extended in 1930 and provided with a concrete wall, closed by a sluice. The end of the gallery is followed by a leveling chamber with a foundation block on the grown rock. The original wooden weir on Orlice with a stone filling was repaired in 1931 and provided with a projecting concrete body. The hydroelectric power plant, which is no longer part of the monument protection, is the first automatic hydroelectric power plant in the former Czechoslovakia (1932). It has three parts. The first is a weir on the river, from where water flows through the screens into the supply pipe. The second part is the supply pipe with the connecting gallery Mouse Hole. The third and main part of the power plant is the Francis turbine located in a building 300 meters over the hill. The water behind the turbine flows back to Divoká Orlice through a stone trough.
